FAQs for Peters Village
Do you carry out roof surveys in Peters Village?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Peters Village is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Peters Village?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll then get the report by email.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
About our storm damage roof report in Peters Village
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you are worried about roofs hit by falling trees and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks alike.
Around Peters Village, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Peters Village, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof

Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.

Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.

Wind, rain and roofs in Peters Village
About 1.5 miles north lies Starkey Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Peters Village has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Living close to Holborough Marshes is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Halling Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Landlords with a home close to Snodland station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Why get it checked now?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In an older home around Peters Village, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
